The huge financial success of comic book movies was always going to open the door for some more unconventional comic book adaptations to come to the screen. It's very much now the case that titles released away from the big banners of Marvel and DC are drawing more attention and easily one of the most exciting is Olivier Megaton's take on The Last Days Of American Crime.

Sure, he might have made the Taken sequels, but they did their jobs and made money and Rick Remender's excellent source material, which follows small-time career criminals on the eve of the introduction of neuro-inhibitors designed to stop people committing crimes has bags of potential.

The stylish, sexy noir story is ripe for adaptation and they've got a strong cast locked down, led by Edgar Ramirez, Michael Pitt and Sharlto Copley and it could be a big winner for Netflix in 2020.
